Description
One Hundred and Thirty-Four-Piece Set of Reed & Barton "Francis I" Sterling Silver Flatware, the pattern designed in 1907 by Ernest Meyers, Taunton, Massachusetts, including six thirteen-piece place settings (one dinner fork lacking but including rare pieces such as steak knives, ice cream forks and citrus spoons), with thirty-nine additional place pieces and eighteen serving pieces, no monograms, 136.96 total t. oz. (weighable silver), presented in a zippered-top, fitted, Pacific cloth-lined cutlery tray, 3" x 21-1/2" x 12-3/4". Detailed list available on request.
Condition
A good partial, assembled set. The pie server has had the steel blade re-seated in the handle, but otherwise no condition issues noted on the other pieces beyond the expected signs on moderate use. Note corrected count and weight: 134 pieces, 136.96 total t. oz. (weighable silver). Eighty-eight of the solid pieces appear to be first half 20th century, showing the superior detail of earlier pieces and marked on the underside with the "eagle-R-lion" Reed & Barton trademark, "Sterling", and most with "Pat. Jun 25 '07"; thirty-seven of these are additionally marked with the "H" ("Heavy") weight designation. Nineteen solid pieces are marked with the later "Reed & Barton" script trademark. Filled handle pieces with steel fittings are marked "Reed & Barton / Mirrorstele" on the blade and "Sterling Handle" on the handle. No monograms or evidence of removal.
